Chapter 133: The Second Elder of Ten Thousand Years
"It's good to eat and drink, and the club is more like a toy. In such a situation, the player will only take two paths, one is to be willing to fall, and the second is to be angry. ”
"No matter how big the contradictions and unhappiness are, no one will get along with money, and they are all young people, because Dota got acquainted with each other, and because of Dota, he got a good job. So in the end, it's a matter of returning to the turret itself. Five people in a team, playing games well, can have food, drink and money, this kind of life is really in vain. ”
"The results are not good, but the money is a lot, and the boss does not put pressure at all, and the contradictions between these five people begin to ease. Without top-down pressure, all the pressure comes only from fans and public opinion. ”
"If you don't play well and get money for nothing, you're not just a Dota player and a fan, but other professional players are also jealous and jealous of them. I wish I could join in and enjoy a happy life. ”
"This kind of bottom-up pressure can actually easily bring out the potential of people. But there is only one thing that can stimulate people's potential, of course, money! ”
"In this year, the Dota World Championship, also known as the TI series, officially kicked off, and the number of prize money for the champion started at one million dollars, which directly shocked the entire gaming industry."
"In the past, whether it was a world champion, a universe champion, or an Internet café champion, no matter how loud the title was, it could only be said that the number of prize money was pitiful. A world champion in an individual event can get more than 100,000 yuan in the end, while a world champion in a team event still does not exceed 300,000 yuan. Five people divided 60,000 yuan per person, which cannot be said to be a particularly small amount, but compared to the number of prize money in other traditional competitive sports. After all, esports is just a family wine project for children. ”
From this point of view, it is not difficult to understand why good bands always fall apart, the total income is just like that, and everyone gets too little in the split, so it is more cost-effective to fly solo. But with the start of this World Championship, eSports has been pushed into a new era. Now, it's not just about glory, it's bread for all the pros! ”
"With a prize of one million US dollars, as long as you can get the first place, each team member can get at least 1 million yuan. For these young people who have made a career out of Dota, a million RMB is a huge concept. It is different from business speculation, corrupt officials and corrupt officials. Maybe they only need one meal to get the million, but in the eyes of these young people, one million yuan will be equal to all of them. ”
"This million yuan can represent their future, their life. The controversy, doubts, obstacles, and incomprehensions they have encountered along the way will be broken by this million yuan. Maybe in their future lives, they can gain more than a million, but for now, they have to fight for this million. ”
"Even if you fool around in the team every month, it will take more than four years to mix up to 1 million. These five players, including CAT, have been deeply attracted by the huge prize money. Their mood at this time may be similar to that of a kidnapper who wants to rob a bank. Regardless of the rest, you must do a good job of this vote. ”
With this motivation, the five began to unite as one. And with a common goal, everyone will no longer care about personal gains and losses. It's time to buy eyes, it's time to squat. No matter how unhappy you are, when you think of the joy after getting 1 million, what can the confusion in front of you count? ”
"But after all, this is a competitive event, and it doesn't mean that if you play according to the rules, you can get results immediately. Although the team is starting to improve, as was the case at the beginning of the team, this team will eventually face the problem of unreasonable personnel allocation. Those who hit need money, those who hit C need money, and those who hit disadvantaged roads still need to develop. And CAT and another auxiliary also need to be brushed, even if they start to buy eye squatting people, their daily life is still inseparable from the development of the belt. ”
"With the help of others, you can hang up and hit the straw sandal bracers at the end, while CAT will always look for opportunities to make up for your own development. The advantage of this is that he will be much richer than the opposite assistant. But the downside of this is that he misses a lot of opportunities and objectively suppresses his teammates' economy. ”
"After the eldest brother was killed, the assistant ran to brush this line. Judging from the Dota concept at the time, this kind of behavior can be described in four words: great rebellion. But really, this team has risen even with this style of play. ”
"After a few unsuccessful tweaks and imitations, the team began their final metamorphosis. Bringing passerby ideas to the CW game is their innovation for the entire Dota game. ”
"The main C fertilizer, the medium single fertilizer, and the No. 3 fertilizer, it is already very remarkable to be able to play three cores before that. But CAT they began to gradually develop in the direction of five fertilizers. Don't create opportunities, don't wander, select the lineup and be ready to brush each other and drag on the economy. Their style of play is starting to pay off. ”
"The Ice Maiden with the Golden Hand, the Demon Wizard with the Golden Hand. Such strange builds began to appear in their games. They are the first to create a precedent of not buying eyes and relying on consciousness to hit the turret. And because the three big brothers are super fast at swiping money, they are not afraid of GANK, and if they catch one and the other two, the opponent will relax the supervision of the others at the same time as one of them...... And once you catch people in an oppressive manner, you will find that the auxiliary player has become a big brother in the end! ”
"Anyway, if you have to fight against this team, in the end, they will use the economic advantage of tens of thousands of dollars to make you understand."
"But it's hard to get rid of teams quickly, and even if you choose a few push lineups, the game will drag into thirty minutes and they'll disrupt your push rhythm with a wave of gank from time to time. And if the boost doesn't work, the game will be dragged back into a rhythm of slow death. ”
"And their tactics are by no means static, as they improve and improve, they start to try to solve the game faster as they play, the more confident they play. No longer try to delay, as long as they accumulate economic advantages, they will also find the right time to take the initiative to attack. But if things don't go their way, they'll drag it out and bring the game to a griddle. ”
"In this style of play, the gap is mainly in the support. Often in the end, the economic gap between the two cores will not exceed 10,000, but there may be a difference of one or two large pieces in the auxiliary position. On one side, there is a Black Emperor Sheep Knife, and on the other side, there is only a life-saving suit, which can be said to be far from the difference in the later battles. At the same time, once you have an economic advantage, support heroes can also play the feeling of mid-laner. ”
"At this time, a player like CAT can reflect all his original advantages. A equipped Rubick can play as effective as a medium unit under CAT. This fresh style of play of theirs takes the gameplay of support heroes to a whole new level. ”
"It's a height that no other team can match, and it can't be imitated. With their rise, the biggest victim became Ling Feng's team. ”
"In a series of confrontations, Ling Feng's team was the most recent to win. During this period of time, Ling Feng and the others continued to adhere to their four-guarantee and one-game style of play, and also took this style of play to the extreme. ”
"In the contest with CAT, Cheng played several classic games of god costume enemy law and god costume water man vs. five fat. Eleven minutes of frenzied battle with the prosthetic leg's enemy method brushed to the end, and there was no way to take the five formed heroes, but in the end, they were toyed with by the god Rubick and the shadow demon between applause. Scenes like this have also been seen many times in their matches. ”
"Although it is not overwhelming in terms of comprehensiveness, but in the domestic competitions after that, CAT they can always win the championship, while Ling Feng can only tie up with the second place for a long time. In four consecutive finals, Ling Feng humiliatingly reaped four consecutive defeats, and also gave the opponent four championships. ”
"Only in some group stage or round-robin matches can Ling Feng and them regain some dignity in the overall record, and the consecutive final defeats made Ling Feng and them start to have psychological problems, and the psychological problems were finally fed back into the game. The tactical style of play was uncertain, and the unforced errors in the game were more frequent than ever, and when facing them, Ling Feng and his teammates seemed to be stuck in a deep swamp. ”
"The more they wanted to win, the more they couldn't win, and they also achieved their opponent's sixth consecutive championship in China. In less than a year, CAT they won six championships in a row, while Ling Feng won five runners-up and one third place. ”
"Because I can only be the runner-up in a row, in the e-sports circle, which is no less cruel than any traditional competition. Ling Feng's team has also changed from a champion team worshiped by thousands of people to a spurned second team. ”
"How beautiful it is when you win, how lonely it is when you lose. With the decline in performance, the aura surrounding Ling Feng also quietly receded. What tactician master, world number one support, world number one captain, these titles are no longer accompanied by Ling Feng. In turn, it was the joking title of the second in ten thousand years. ”
"In this circle, the audience will have a higher level of forgetting than in other circles. If any team wins the World Cup, even if it will collapse for more than a decade, fans will still remember that this team has reached the top. But in the e-sports circle, it is the mainstream for a new generation to replace old talents. After winning the runner-up one after another, no one seems to remember that Ling Feng also won the championship. From then on, Ling Feng's previous achievements became worthless. ”
"The title of the second in ten thousand years has been called for a long time, as if Ling Feng really only won the runner-up. Because he is the captain of the team and the BP player, Ling Feng bears far more pressure than the other team members, in addition to saying that his skills are not good, the questioning of tactics makes Ling Feng unable to raise his head. Lian Po is old and still able to eat, Ling Feng's career fell into a trough for the second time. ”
